Meeting held at a distance

THE board of the Stockport County Supporters Cooperative met again this week, continuing their Covid induced habit of staging meetings via Zoom.

Pete Towey, chairing the meeting, opened with a report of the recent meeting with the Club, expressing satisfaction about the way the meeting went.

It was agreed that a further meeting be sought as soon as practicable.

Meanwhile, with the Cheadle End Cabin now history, we had received suggestions from the Club as to where we might set up on match daysenabling effective communication between our members, County fans generally, and ourselves, one of which should prove to be a workable option.

It was reported that the final ‘deferred consideration’ following the sale of the Cooperative’s shares in Stockport County had been received, and it was reaffirmed that, as with the original distribution, the moneys received will be shared equally with Help the Hatters.

Discussion then took place on our intention to undergo a ‘Consultative Exercise’ similar to one we took on some years ago.

This is likely to be accompanied by a mission statement maybe incorporating elements of our recent ‘Presentation Document’ which has generally received a good response.

It will contain for certain a host of pertinent questions aimed at ascertaining the views of supporters and members on the Cooperative….its values….the way it should be heading and lots more.

It was agreed we proceed with the project.

On the Hatters Half Marathon it was confirmed that we are seeking clarity as to the position regarding essential permissions needed before we can safely and successfully run this race.

We agreed to continue to seek answers and obtain the permissions.

Finally it was noted that Stockport NHS Foundation had given us an excellent ‘Supporters Shout Out’ via social media following our effort raising £2700 for them last year.
